​Two new fee increases expected to lend themselves to upgraded communication between first responders and road improvements are in limbo as Greenville County Council is set to decide Tuesday whether to repeal an ordinance that sparked a lawsuit concerning how the increases were voted on.

At 6 p.m., council will hold the second of three votes whether to repeal a 2004 ordinance that requires a "supermajority" of nine of 12 votes anytime council votes on tax or fee increases.

On March 7, council voted 7-4 to adopt a $14.95 telecommunications fee that would bring all first responders and dispatch onto the same operating system. The fee, annually imposed on each parcel of property in Greenville County, was expected to start this year.

Council also voted to raise the $15 road maintenance fee to $25. Officials estimated the increase would generate up to $10.1 million for road resurfacing, widening and improvements.

Council members who opposed the hikes asked local delegation members to seek an opinion from the state Attorney General's Office. That opinion said the county's nine-member vote statute is "binding" until the ordinance is repealed or modified.

On March 23, three council members and four members of the S.C. House sued council and Greenville County.

It's the first time members of council have sued their own governing body.

"This involves more than communications or roads," Meadows told The Greenville News last week. "The question before us is do we follow our rules and ordinances or not?"

On Tuesday, council also will vote on two fee-in-lieu agreements.

The first, up for third reading, is called "Project Mousetrap." That company is expected to invest approximately $5.5 million in Greenville County.

The second, up for first reading, is called "Project Vandiver," which is expected to invest approximately $11.7 million, but no less than $10.5 million in non-exempt investment, into the county and create 182 new, full-time jobs with benefits, according to the agenda.
